MICROWAVE SOCIETY

by Michelle S   Aug 20, 2016


POP SOMETHING QUICKLY TIME IS RUNNING OUT
SOCIETY IN SUCH A RUSH, SIMPLY FORGOT
NO TIME FOR DINNER
LOOKING FOR A QUICK FIX FOR OUR CHILDREN

WATCHING TELEVISION DURING DINNER AND LEARNING
ABOUT BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS AND MURDER
PARENTS CONCERNED ABOUT THE END
END OF THE DAY, CHILDREN PUT AWAY
TIME TO CLEAN UP; CHECK EMAIL, MAIL TO THEIR DISMAY

FINDING TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES
HUSBAND CHATTING ONLINE TO GET AWAY
AWAY FROM REALITY OF RESPONSIBILITY
WIFE, CHILDREN THEY'RE JUST TEMPORARY

EMPTY INSIDE, WE FULFILL NEEDS EXTERNALLY
HANGING ON TO MEMORIES FADING
KNOWING DIVORCE IS SO SIMPLE, THIRTY DOLLARS
INTERNET DOWNLOAD, DONE IN ONE DAY

NO TRUE COMMITMENT, WHY SHOULD WE?
ISNT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE ALWAYS GREEN?
VOWS TO GOD IS SIMPLY AN ACT
IF NOT, WHY IS DIVORCE SO RAMPID?

SO EASY TO GET OUT, RUN FROM OUR REALITY
WHY NOT? YOU CANNOT COMPLETE ME
SIXTY PERCENT DIVORCE RATE, SO EMPTY
WHY MARRY? ITS NOT A REALITY

ONE THAT IS ACTED OUT FOR A REASON TO SETTLE
SETTLE DUE TO EXTERNAL PRESSURES
YOU ARE ALMOST FORTY NOW, WHAT ARE YOU ISSUES?
YET YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KNOWS YOURSELF

BETTER THAN THOSE WITH THREE DIVORCES, NO COURSE
SEE TODAYS SOCIETY IS SO FAST, REMOTES, CARS, DIVORCES AND TECHNOLOGY
WHO SAYS WE EVEN NEED TO MARRY?

PAPERS ARE ONLY A COMPLEX STORY
ONE THAT BONDS TWO PEOPLE TEMPORARILY
UNTIL HARDSHIPS ENCOUNTERED GET IN THE WAY
CANNOT HANDLE DIFFICULT ISSUES TODAY

NOT TODAY, TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK
WHAT HAVE WE BECOME AS A SOCIETY?
REALITY SIMPLY PERCEIVED
9/10TH OF THE LAW IS MERELY PERCEPTION
IS THERE EVER ONE SENSE OF DIRECTION?

TIMING SO QUICK, NO TIME TO THINK
OF THE OUTCOMES OR POSSIBILITIES
GET RID OF ONE, NOW MOVE ON
TO THE NEXT, SO EASY NO PRESSURE NOW

UNTIL ONE DAY YOU BEGIN TO MEASURE
WHERE DID OUR LIFE GO? SO FAST NO MEMORIES
OF WHAT WAS, IS AND COULD BE
IGNORED, BURIED, WALLS ENCLOSE
MIND BLOCKED, SOUL DIRECTS, YET WE IGNORE SIGNS OF OUR PURPOSE

CONTINUE AND YOU SHALL REMAIN ALONE
RUNNING TO YOUR GRAVE, BURRYING THOUGHTS
PAST EXPERIENCES, NEVER LEARNED, YET ALL IS LOST AND YEARNED

SLOW DOWN, THINK, TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT
NOW LOOK BACK, REFLECT, LIFE IS NOW SLOWING DOWN
FEET PLANTED FIRMLY ON THE GROUND

WALK SLOWLY, CAREFULLY AND YOU WILL FIND
THE TRUTH, RECOGNIZE AND NOTICE YOUR MIND
NOW SOCIETY REFLECTS A DIFFERENT MEANING
ONE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SEEKING

GET BACK TO YOUR NATURAL STATE
WHERE YOU WERE DESTINED IN FAITH
FIND YOURSELF AGAIN AND REALLY KNOW YOURSELF
THERE IS NO PRESSURE, ONLY ONE REALITY

THAT WHICH YOU OWN, TAKE IT BACK
YOURS TO OWN, TREASURE AND REACT
ONLY WAY OF DIFFERENCE IN THIS SOCIETY
NO MORE CAN YOU HAVE SELF PITY
